The shortest _average_ lifespan. … Clones at the first battle of Geonosis.

I like how he refers to the Gungans as semi-sentient.

Which character has the shortest lifespan? The kid that asked Anakin "there's too many of them, what are we going to do?"

I would’ve thought Clone Troopers had the smallest life span, since many of them died in combat, their bred purpose. And they had accelerated aging.

Here's my list for long life in the Galaxy Far Far Away. 1. Avoid Sand. 2. Avoid Force sensitive people. 3. Avoid gangsta slugs. 4. Avoid the Old/New Republic. 5. Avoid the Sith Empire.

I would love a list of the species with the largest lifespans and why their cultures permit such long lifespans.

The Death Star has a pretty short Lifespan.

I'll do you one better, what if watto accepted republic credits?

The Devlikks (Wan Sandage the Podracer) species only lives 10 years. That is the shortest lifespan I can think of in Star Wars.

A moment of silence for all those lost to falling off railing lacking catwalks, balconies and ledges. Thousands must have gone missing that way on Coruscant alone, daily. I know most would 'get used to it', but the way walkways are designed in Star Wars, in ultra minimalist fashion, y'all know drunk people or the unwary/just plain unlucky would fall down the side of a building many thousands of feet tall. Then there are the deliberate jumpers to consider. This, even before the Empire was around to turn utilitarian brutalist architecture of sci-fi futurism up to 11. Apparently railings were so passé in like 7/10 designs. There are legit more railings inside an imperial building interior in rooms with no danger of falling. But when it comes to access corridors etc they become pretty much featureless save for a bit of lighting. I get that some will be deliberate chokepoints, but c'mon, man. RIP all the random Imperials on Day 1 on the job, who fell to their deaths screaming.

Stormtroopers when they encounter the main character

Trandoshans worship a goddess known as The Scorekeeper, not a god known as The Game Master.

1:57 the god is actually called the scorekeeper.

I remember in SWTOR (which is of course not canon) that Trandoshan's tend to die young due to how violent their hunt-based culture is. In that game, a Trandoshan that reached the age of 35 made was considered an "elder" and blessed by the Scorekeeper.

Challenge question: how well do Star Wars writers account for the metabolic rates/capacities of species when it comes to life expectancy? For example, approximating Yoda’s mass and weight, how much would he have to eat per day or if he’s like a tortoise, per week or month? Perhaps that rootleaf stew in Empire was Yoda’s meal for the month.

I don't know if it's only me, but this totally has something to do with Tech

So genetics and cultures are the major factors about the lifespans of each species. Am I right?

In some novelization the Wookie's lifespan was considered to be an excess of 6000 years as for the Jawas was they were considered to be highly evolved rats, yes without their hoods they're just rats!!!

I'm surprised he didn't mention the chadra-fans which only seem to live up until 40, in some rare cases living a few years longer.

Mass Effect has the Selerian species which live 40 to 20 years due to genetics and super fast metabolism. Their culter is advanced so it isn't what reduces their lifespan.

"Trandoshans can regrow limbs if they piss off a fully grown Wookie in a cantina" Who's here after watching the 4th episode of the Book of Boba Fett?

For a list of short lived species, maybe you should have mentioned the Rodians who live 23.5 years, and the Devlikks who live 9 to 10.

"Piss off a fully grown Wookie in a Cantina" 2:13 Well that aged poorly/well LOL

Ocampa from Star Trek: *a m a t e u r s*

The Trandoshan goddess is the Scorekeeper not the "gamemaster"

The shortage of Ewok meat was probably because not many spaceships wanted to go near the debris of the second Death Star, where there would be pirates; not because of a shortage of Ewoks themselves.

That scene of the door gunner in the U-wing was one of my favourite in all of Star Wars

I just watched one of your old Q&A vids and you said you hate talking on camera. I think you’re great at it and it honestly worried me when you said that. Please don’t stop anytime soon I watch ur videos every day. Y’all are doin great work and iv never been disappointed. Ur awesome Allan you really do restore some of my sanity and faith in humanity every video I watch so thank you

I’d recommend you do a longest-life-span video, but we all know the Gen’Dai would take the cake for that.

I imagine Neimoidians have a fairly short average lifespan as well, given how their young are basically left to fend for themselves in communal pits.

"The Talz were a violent species..." Not violent enough for Broonmark, apparently (yes, I know SWTOR is legends).

Excellent video again, thank you Generation Tech! Minor correction however, the Trandoshan species deity is the Scorekeeper not the Gamemaster (they are the evil MMO species deity - another reptilian species)

Actually, humans seem to have increased our lifespan by 50% in the star wars galaxy. Like when Grand Admiral Pelleon signed the peace treaty with the new republic, he looked to be in his early 70s but was over 100.

Your channel is my absolute favorite when it comes to Star Wars !! You’re the best . Loved this video

It's strange that with a much higher tech base, humans in the Star War's universe don't live as long as humans on Terra.

I loved this episode. It's really fascinating learning about the different species in the Star Wars universe.

Gamorreans are basically Star Wars orcs

Good to see you Allen. Great work!

Not only is this the best Star Wars youtube channel but my favorite one too

thanks for the continuing awesome content.

This of my favourite videos so far!

The average lifespan of a Bothan is how old it is when I find it

“In case they piss off a fully grown wookie in a cantina” Is this just a coincidence or are you in contact with Dave Filoni and is he spilling the plot to you early

according to legends there was this species who lived on tatooine but they rebeled against the rakata and the entire planet got glassed so they devolved into the tuskens and jawas

Where do you get/how can I find your thumbnails, they are excellent and would certainly like a few for wallpapers

Great video!

One word:,Younglings

Fantastic insight thanks 🙏🏻

There were some species in here I didn't even know were short lived. Interesting. A couple of addendums; The Trandoshan god is called the Scorekeeper, not the Gamemaster. And second, you left out the Chadra-Fan. The little bat people, like the one you see with a drink in the cantina in ANH. In legends they grew and aged much faster than most other species, growing up fast and only living to be about 40 years old.

Which Species has the Shortest Lifespan? - That would be StormTroopers ..

I really liked this. Thanks.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the chiss have pretty long lifespans,considering Thrawn was the captain of his own ship in outbound flight,which takes place a decade before the clone wars and hes still a young man.

Great video

You made a mistake at the beginning with human lifespans in Star Wars. On the wiki, it states that humans live for around 100 - 120 years, assuming the subject is in good health

I was expecting that you were going to mention the predators that inhabit Endor like the wolfboars and the Gorax

Those ranats must've felt the effects of inbreeding depression. They have to have super low heterzygosity. How did they not die off from genetic diseases.

cool vid, funny learning this star wars lore lol

I will never understand why Gamoreans continue to be hired as body guards when they clearly suck at it

I mean technically the younglings had pretty short lifespans…

I’d love to see a video on the aquatic species of Star Wars

Also in the sixty-five year lifespan category are the Squibs.

I'm more of a star trek homie my self, so I don't know much on this topic, however the ocampans of the delta quadrant in star trek have a life span of 9ish years, however there was a sect of the species that separated and went off with the female caretaker that lived to be closer to 16

A little fact: In Legends, humans loved longer, between one hundred to one hundred and twenty years old. Well, most would still die in their early hundreds if they did not make use of advanced, expensive medical technology. Eppie and Orn Belden were one-hundred-and-thirty-two and one-hundred-and-sixty-four, but had come through numerous organ replacements and procedures. Force sensetive humans could live to about two-hundred, approximately (I only know of one character, but I don't recall her name) and even - Shayoto - lived to eight hundred.

You forgot the younglings, those barely lived to an age of 10 years

I think a more accurate lifespan measurement is average age of death via old age. Like humans in the 1700's had an average age of 50 but it's skewed because of a high mortality rate among children and young men once you've made it past 30 you're more than likely to make it to 70 than 50.

Stormtroopers who were assigned to the Death Star during the latter half of Rogue One. Shortest life span guaranteed.

1:55 scorekeeper not gamemaster

Everything I could find on trandoshans has their religion be the "scorekeeper" not the game master

I’m surprised that with all that technology humans and other species would live much longer.

Vorcha: "Interesting..."

How goes the war against the dolphins. You should provide is an update video revealing the strategies of these water mammals

I was honestly expecting him to add the Chadra-fan who usually only make it to 30 years.

Cheers brother.

Learned about fighting the tols in SWTOR....they're so strong

I thought the problem with the Cereans was not a low birthrate (overall) but the fact that the female to male birthrate was 20:1 hence the polygamy.

Thank you.

With their access to bacta and other more advanced technology than what we have, humans in Star Wars should have a longer average lifespan than 70-80 years like us, just like how we have a longer life expectancy than people from previous eras. I would expect it to be 100+.

4:52 - this is not the ewok hunt that I know of...

That one alien wearing a vault suit

i always thought the trandoshan god was called the "score keeper" or is there another trandoshan god called the "game master"?

Imagine being aware of dissolving into good to transform. It's no wonder they prevent growing out of their larval stage

where do you get this information its cool

The younglings should be on this list!

I always pay a particular attention to the way you introduce yourself. Who knows? Dolphins...

Part 2? We know the lifespan of the Fett clones, but what about the species that lasted shorter than that? And the subsequent laws that made them voting members of the Galactic Republic & such…

So the human lifespan hasn’t changed with all that technology?

Allen you got any good recipes for gungan head tail stew?

Here's a sad truth. One day there will come a moment where you will be thought about for the very last time.

found this video to be amazeballs.

Incompetent Imperial naval officers aboard Vader's ISD

can you plz continue the sepratist alliance vs earth series plz

07:50 The rurians feared the metamorphosis because the adults of the species were nonsentient. What came out of the cocoon was an unintelligent insect. Horribly, many of them still had fragments of their memories left. In the extended universe ("Legends") Han Solo returned to visit a rurian friend, only to find he had metamorphosed. He was delighted, however, that one of the adults kept landing near him and waving his wings at Han.

Hey Alan. While watching revenge of the sith, in the scene before Obi won leaves for Utapau, on the venator class star destroyer i saw a two legged robot carrying containers. do you know what it could be?

What I learned from this video is that "semi-sentient" means "absolutely sentient but annoying/ugly by human standard"

The average lifespan of a Gamorrean working for Jabba probably has a really short lifespan.

Gungans are literally more advanced than humanity in our world. How the hell are they semi sentient

0:30 damn lol

Talz are a Casualty of Disney/Clone Wars. Originally they were a race of Pacifists, a Talz tried out for Rogue/Wraith Squadron and tested well but the distress caused by Simulated Kills in The Simulator made them wash him out. This was written Canon.

Your telling me that scaven exist in the star wars galaxy!!? This explains so much....

Alan I remember you from GameSpot back in the day
